In Alexandra Vasti’s newest Regency rom-com, a reclusive earl’s life is turned upside down when a stranger shows up on his doorstep with an astonishing proposal―and an inconvenient connection to espionage.
Right girl. Wrong earl.
For three years, wallflower heiress Lydia Hope-Wallace has anonymously penned seditious pamphlets. And for almost as long, she’s corresponded with the Earl of Strathrannoch, whose political ambition is matched only by his charm. When Arthur’s latest letter reveals his dire financial straits, Lydia sets out for Scotland to offer him the only salvation she can think of―a marriage of convenience. To, um, herself.
Unfortunately, the Earl of Strathrannoch has no idea who she is.
When a bewitching redheaded stranger offers him her hand in marriage, Arthur Baird is stunned―but when he learns that his traitorous brother has been writing to her under Arthur’s name, he’s bloody furious. He’s content to live alone in his moldering castle, and he has no desire for a provocative, radical wife. (Or at least, he shouldn’t.)
But Arthur is desperate to track down his brother, who’s become dangerously entangled in British espionage, and he needs Lydia’s help. What he doesn’t need? The attraction that burns hotter each moment they spend together. As Lydia slips past his defenses and his brother’s mysterious past becomes a very present threat, Arthur will have to risk everything to keep her safe―even his heart.
"Wildly delightful! This belongs on every romance reader's keeper shelf!"
—Joanna Shupe, bestselling author
"I dare anyone to read this book and walk away without a crush on this Earl! Alexandra Vasti is an immense talent and I look forward to reading everything she writes until the end of time!"
—Naina Kumar, bestselling author of Say You’ll Be Mine
"EARL CRUSH will enchant readers and establish her as a breakout star of historical romance!"
—Liana De la Rosa, author of Ana Maria and the Fox
